Bug description:
My /boot partition filled up so when I (or unattended upgrades) next
attempted to install a kernel, it failed. On failure, mkinitramfs
leaves a temporary directory in /var/tmp.
If you (or unattended upgrades) do this enough times, you can end up
with substantial, non-obvious disk usage.
(I believe that this is fixed in Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=814345)
